Just in time for the Holidays, flying to the Big Apple just got a lot easier for Atlantic Canadian’s.
Air Canada is launching today a new non-stop flight four times a week between Halifax and New York.
The new service, operating under Jazz Aviation LP, will take travelers from gate to gate in under two hours from Halifax Stanfield Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport.
To add to the ease of it all, Halifax’s U.S. pre-clearance facility allows departing passengers to pre-clear U.S. customs, which allow them to arrive in the States as a domestic traveler. This means passengers arriving in Newark from Halifax, can skip customs.
“We are thrilled Air Canada is expanding their network and investing in our communities by reconnecting our region to New York. We know this route supports vital tourism and trade activities that contribute to regional economic development, and we look forward to welcoming more of our American friends and colleagues with its introduction.” – Joyce Carter, President & CEO, Halifax International Airport Authority
“This non-stop, year-round connection between Halifax and New York is another welcome sign that air access is opening up for our city and province, allowing easier travel and better connections for residents and visitors alike.” – Mike Savage, Mayor, Halifax Regional Municipality
Once at Newark, there are several easy ways to get into the heart of New York.
Daily flights between the two cities will begin January 8, 2023.
